In one of the quarter-final matches of the Africa Cup of Nations, which is played in the Ivory Coast, Nigeria will face off against Angola. Nigeria finished the group stage of this year's AFCON in second place in the table. Although they had the same number of points as the first-placed Equatorial Guinea, the better goal difference decided that the Nigerians finished as the second-placed team of Group A. From round to round, Nigeria is improving its form and can really be ranked among the favorites to win this year's tournament. In addition to that fact, the fact that many quality teams such as Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Senegal and Cameroon were eliminated from the tournament is certainly a relief for them. It was the Nigerians who were better in the duel against Cameroon, which was also perhaps their best match in the tournament. They won 2-0, with one goal disallowed, and what is particularly worth highlighting is the fact that they did not allow Cameroon to have a single shot on target. Realistically speaking, they have a far better quality team than Angola, with individuals who have significant roles in well-known world clubs. Since the start of the tournament, Lookman and Osimhen have been playing great, and Iwobi, Onyeka, Onuachu, Chukwueze and Iheanacho are also worth mentioning. One gets the impression that Angola reached the first place in Group D more easily than expected. Although Algeria was the favorite to win the leading position, this selection completely failed and ended the competition already in the group stage. Angola played Algeria in the opening match of the AFCON and drew 1:1, with which everyone in Angola was more than satisfied. After that draw, there were victories against Mauritania 3:2 and Burkina Faso 2:0 and the "red and black" entered the knock out phase with, for many, a surprising first place. Angola's rival in the 1/8 finals was the third-placed selection of group E, Namibia, which, as one of the best third-placed selections, reached the knock out stage. Angola have routinely won this match, and it remains to be seen how far they can go against one of the favorites to win the AFCON. With the exception of Algiers, Angola has not had a quality rival against them so far and the question is how well they will be able to oppose the excellent Nigeria. In addition to an excellent attack, Nigeria can also boast of a very good defense, given that they have conceded only 1 goal in the 4 matches so far, at the opening of the tournament. The individual quality that Nigeria possesses is something that will be decisive in this match and I sincerely believe that the Nigerians can decide the question of the winner within 90 minutes.

在科特迪瓦举行的非洲国家杯四分之一决赛中，尼日利亚将对阵安哥拉。尼日利亚在今年非洲杯小组赛中排名第二。虽然他们的积分与第一名赤道几内亚相同，但更好的净胜球决定了尼日利亚队最终以a组第二的身份结束比赛。一轮又一轮的比赛，尼日利亚队的状态不断改善，确实可以跻身今年世界杯的夺冠热门之列。除此之外，阿尔及利亚、埃及、摩洛哥、塞内加尔和喀麦隆等许多优秀球队都被淘汰出局，这对他们来说无疑是一种解脱。尼日利亚人在与喀麦隆的对决中表现得更好，这可能也是他们在本届锦标赛中表现最好的一场比赛。他们以2比0取胜，一球被判无效，特别值得强调的是，他们没有让喀麦隆有一次射正的机会。现实地说，他们的队伍比安哥拉强得多，他们的球员在世界知名俱乐部都扮演着重要的角色。自比赛开始以来，卢克曼和奥西姆恩发挥出色，伊沃比、奥尼耶卡、奥努阿丘、楚克韦兹和伊赫纳乔也值得一提。人们得到的印象是安哥拉比预期更容易进入D组第一。虽然阿尔及利亚是最有希望赢得领先地位的，但这次选择完全失败了，在小组赛阶段就结束了比赛。在非洲杯的揭幕战中，安哥拉与阿尔及利亚1:1战平，安哥拉人对此非常满意。在那场平局之后，他们分别以3:2和2:0战胜毛里塔尼亚和布基纳法索，“红黑军团”进入淘汰赛阶段，出乎许多人的意料，他们获得了第一名。安哥拉在1/8决赛中的对手是E组第三名的纳米比亚，作为最好的第三名之一，纳米比亚进入了淘汰赛阶段。安哥拉在这场比赛中屡屡获胜，面对非洲杯夺冠热门之一，他们能走多远还有待观察。除了阿尔及尔，安哥拉到目前为止还没有遇到过有实力的对手，问题是他们能在多大程度上对付出色的尼日利亚。除了出色的进攻外，尼日利亚还可以夸耀其非常出色的防守，考虑到他们在比赛开幕到目前为止的4场比赛中只丢了1球。尼日利亚拥有的个人素质将在这场比赛中起决定性作用，我真诚地相信尼日利亚人可以在90分钟内决定胜负。
